It's time for cookies from the oven, quiet afternoons inside, and an interesting word game. Here's a very old game that goes by various names, but we've always called it Ink Pinks, so here's what the granddaughters had to work on this afternoon!
Here's the sheet for the granddaughters to use, followed by the answers. This is a fun game to occupy time when waiting in the car line or when traveling (nice billboard???? Fine Sign!).
